Weighed in this morning at 184 pounds, up 6 pounds from last Friday.

The best way to ruin a diet is to eat lots of mexican food. Saturday, I had a "Macho Man Quesadilla" at Carlee's Cafe in Borrego Springs, and then on Sunday I had carnitas at La Cocina in Temecula. I also had two margaritas that Sunday.

But late on Sunday evening I also ate a pint of ice cream.

The carnitas and two margaritas at La Cocina were particularly appetizing! First, they threw in two whole roasted jalapeno peppers. I sliced them up and tossed them into the meat. I added added gobs of guacamole. For whatever reason, the two ice-cold margaritas tasted so much better when washing the carnitas down.

I was saddened to see that I had nearly wiped out all of my weight loss thus far in this month of November. But I did gain some pleasure eating all that food. I suppose that's why we live right? To have pleasure?
